The third day of the escape.

The land has finally arrived.

And before that, there was a small episode, that is, on the night of the next day, eight of the ten ships that had been left were suddenly missing.

Proto's explanation for this was that Jason, the commander of the New Army, had received secret instructions from Planck before he came out, and they needed to complete a special mission.

Although there were only 2,000 remaining soldiers, they still had to go.

So Proto gave them some of the baggage and let them leave the fleet first.

Regarding this statement, Chen Senran just smiled and didn't say anything, because he just asked casually.

So when it came to shore, only two large four-masted galleons arrived at their final destination with a small amount of supplies, which was quite miserable compared to the thirty or so ships that Proto had left.

Fortunately, what Proto brought back this time were some non-main battle ships, and the main force of his pirate legion was still preserved, even if it was a little nerve-wracking, but it was only a little.

Immediately after getting off the boat, the soldiers who were waiting on the shore came to ask for an audience, saying that General Balzac knew that Master Jack would arrive in the next two days, and that he had been waiting for a long time, and that he hoped that Master Jack would meet in the shortest possible time, so that he could receive the latest instructions from Bilgewater.

Chen Senran didn't say anything about Balzac's hurry, probably because he also heard some rumors of Bilgewater, and was a little anxious for Chen Senran.

After casually agreeing to the soldier, Chen Senran took two steps, suddenly stopped and whispered to Proto behind him: "I used to dislike you very much, but now, I have changed my mind, and you are always welcome to help me." Of course, it's all up to you, anyway, the thing I said counts. ”

After saying this, Chen Senran took the little fishman Fitz and Graves and left without looking back.

Proto looked fixedly at Chen Senran's departing back. It was a long time before he sighed.

He suddenly felt that he shouldn't have let Jason go.

——————————

The place where Balzac and Chen Senran met was a little far away, probably because of the recent tension in the war, and he couldn't walk away.

Chen Senran rode a horse for a day before he arrived at that place.

The smoke and smell of blood could already be smelled all around.

Presumably a temporary camp for logistical medical care.

Chen Senran was ushered into a big tent and sat down.

After waiting for about ten minutes, I heard a rush of footsteps coming from outside the tent.

Obviously, the people outside were very anxious, and before they could stand still, they ordered in a cold tone: "From now on, the thirty yards outside the big tent are all military-controlled areas, and anyone who trespasses without my permission will be killed." ”

Chen Senran smiled and listened to this order to kill. Got up from his seat.

"Sorry, I'm late." The next moment, a slightly tired voice came from outside the tent.

Balzac kicked a pair of sharp military boots, withstood the wind and frost, and walked quickly into the big tent.

Three years of military career has turned this once calm freelancer into a qualified military commander, and now he has a thick beard, a pair of eyes with a murderous aura, and his gestures are full of iron and blood that cannot be hidden.

He looked at the blind man who had put himself in this seat with one hand. With a rare smile, he walked over. In a respectful tone, he gave a chest-beating military salute, "Long time no see, Lord Jack." ”

"Long time no see, Balzac." Chen Senran smiled and nodded, "You're good, you're good." ”

He's certainly good. Very good.

He did not return to Bilgewater for three years, and almost every day he was on the front line of the battle.

In return, he had all the Bilgewater troops in Ionia firmly in his hands, and no matter how many reinforcements Planck sent, he eventually swallowed them up.

So now the guns are with the Rose Legion. On the contrary, its size has increased countless times since it was when it came to Ionia, from 5,000 to 30,000 now.

Balzac also assumed the position of commander-in-chief of the Ionian expeditionary force.

This is not Chen Senran's original intention, most of it should be his personal ambition, but he has to do it very well, and his approach makes Planck dare not touch Chen Senran at all.

Because as long as his army of 30,000 is contained outside, Planck will have to consider this hidden dangerous element.

"It's all your cultivation back then that made me Balzac what I am today." Balzac's tone was still very respectful, and he lowered his head and invited Chen Senran to the position of coach, while he sat down.

In this sense, he is a man who does not forget his roots.

"My lord, I heard ......," Balzac sat still, but did not say anything at once, but glanced cautiously at the little fish-men Fitz and Graves, who had been sitting without speaking.

"It's okay, it's all your own people, you can say whatever you want." Chen Senran shook his head, knowing what he was worried about.

"I heard that you are coming this time, and I think, is it ......" Balzac is a man from a free territory, and he has been cautious in the past few decades, so even if he has achieved this high position now, he still won't say it too plainly.

"He's going to move me." Chen Senran was not taboo, and nodded bluntly.

The so-called him, there is no need to break it, everyone present knows who Lu Dao is.

"Then we, are we ......" Balzac left blank again.

Chen Senran didn't mind his attitude, he just shook his head with a smile and said: "No, there is no benefit in breaking with him now, after all, we are still outside, once we break up, it will be rootless water, we want to win this war this time, we have to win beautifully, and we want to go back in style, doesn't he just like to use the general trend to suppress people?" This time, we want him to see what the general trend is. ”

Chen Senran's words were plain, but the meaning contained in them made Balzac silent.

"My lord, I, I want to know Lu Dao, you will finally ...... What do you want? After being silent for a while, he suddenly raised his head and tried to look into Chen Senran's eyes.

But when he raised his head, he realized that Chen Senran was a blind man.

So the blind man looked at him word by word with his blindfolded eyes, as if he could penetrate his whole being, and said, "What do you say? ”

You tell me?

"Subordinate......" Balzac took a deep breath and lowered his head again, "Understood." (To be continued......)
